FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure generally relates to a pipe, more specifically apipe used for the packing and drying of organic material for smoking.

BACKGROUND

Smoking of organic material is intended to include any organic materialthat upon combustion vaporizes, allowing the vapor to be ingested by theuser. Typically, the vapor is ingested through the mouth and encountersthe respiratory passages of the user. The organic material may betobacco, cannabis, tea, dried flowers, dried herbs, etc. The traditionalmethods of smoking organic material cause the user to inhale by-productsof the organic materials upon combustion. Various apparatus for smokingorganic materials has been used over the years to smoke tobacco andother organic materials; however, the majority of the burned organicmaterials remain in the apparatus during the smoking process affectingthe smoking of the remaining unburned organic product.

U.S. Pat. No. 7,415,982 discloses a smokeless pipe for the ingestion oftobacco products which includes an elongated member having a proximalend, a distal end, and a length therebetween. The elongated hollowmember includes a constricted portion along its length to retain thetobacco products within, a first opening to enable a user to draw from,a fill port to enable user to fill the hollow member with tobaccoproducts, and a bulbous chamber.

U.S. Pat. No. 9,795,164 discloses a smoking pipe with a jacketcontaining an inner glass tube. The glass tube has a hole in its wallthat aligns with a hole in the jacket. The pipe has a bowl holder thatholds a glass bowl with a stem that extends proximate to the hole in theglass tube. The joint between the bowl stem and an insert in the bowlholder can form a frosted glass fitting. End-caps with threaded insertscan match glass threads on the ends of the glass tube holding the glasstube in the jacket. A decorated metal bowl holder can be mounted on thejacket and decorated with gems, glass and the like. The pipe can bemanufactured using different types of premium woods for the jacket fordesign and beauty. The use of an inner glass tube that contains thesmoke eliminates contamination and cools the smoke for inhalation.

Canadian Patent No. 2,271,404 discloses a device for smoking combustiblematerials that has a tubular body member constructed entirely out ofheat-resistant glass material. The device has an internal bore with anintegrally formed venturi that separates the bore into a smoke chamberand a loading chamber. A method of forming the device includes providinga tubular body member constructed entirely from a heat-resistant glassmaterial; forming a constricted passage in a bore of the tubular bodymember by applying heat to a predetermined location on the tubular bodymember until the glass material expands into the bore at thepredetermined location; and smoothing the outer surface of the tubularbody member at the predetermined location.

The bore 12 may be defined by aninternal surface 11 of the one or more sidewall 10 that extends betweenthe first end 6 and the second end 8. In one embodiment, the smokingassembly may be comprised of a substantially clear,low-thermal-expansion, borosilicate glass.

Borosilicate glass is generally a high melting point glass that canwithstand very high temperatures without breaking or cracking. Anexample of commonly known devices constructed from borosilicate glassare jars and baking dishes. Borosilicate glass is a type of glass withthe main glass-forming constituents, silica and boron trioxide.Borosilicate glasses are known for having very low coefficients ofthermal expansion (^(˜)3×10−6/° C. at 20° C.), making them theborosilicate glass resistant to thermal shock, more so than any othercommon glass. Such borosilicate glass is less subject to thermal stressand is commonly used for the construction of reagent bottles.Borosilicate glass is sold under such trade names as Borcam, Borosil,Suprax, Kimax, Pyrex, Endural, Schott, or Refinex.

While borosilicate glass is an ideal material for making the smokingassembly 2 disclosed herein, borosilicate glass is not the only materialuseable for construction of the body 4 of the smoking assembly 2. Otherembodiments of the body 4 of the smoking assembly 2 may be comprised ofheat-resistant porous material, such as briar, or other material such aswood or wood-like natural organic materials (e.g. bogwood, briar, cherrywood, corncob, olivewood, maple, mesquite, oak, and other woods).Alternatively, the body 4 may be made from a porous non-organic material(e.g., catlinite, clay, meerschaum, soapstone, and the like.) In anotherembodiment, the body 4 of the smoking assembly 2 may be comprised offlit/soda lime glass.
